 * A projection formed by projecting the sphere 
 * onto a cone tangent, or secant, to the sphere 
 * along any small circle (usually a mid-latitude parallel). 
 * In the normal aspect (which is oblique for conic projections), 
 * parallels are projected as concentric arcs of circles, 
 * and meridians are projected as straight lines 
 * radiating at uniform angular intervals from the apex of the flattened cone.
